Attendance: Smith, Stevens, Vanegas, Roy
Analyzing last year's Final -
Pacing this year has been slower. This year's summative assessment will have to be different from last year. We will have to move some of the material from last year's assessment into the spring.
We will get through Ionic and Covalent Bonding and Reactions... We would like to move conservation of energy and matter into the spring. (Balancing Equations)
CS - Still has students struggling with parts of the atoms. PV suggested a reading. DS suggested HW. Behaviors need to be under control before the content can be taught with fidelity.
If we are going to push Conservation of Energy, we will have time to put the 4 types of reactions back in.
We will teach this from a prediction, assessment, evidence, justification viewpoint... Be intentional about connecting these ideas to many contents areas.

State testing changes were discussed.
Baker requested input about about Master schedule changes -
PV wants to move Dual Credit Chem to 4th so that it doesn't interfere with AP Calc and AP Eng 4.
Repeater courses are a concern.
We think the freshmen class is smaller than the current sophomore class.
Right now our classes are too full - Biology numbers are going to be a concern for next year.
